The Gods' Machines: From Stonehenge to Crop Circles [Paperback]

Chok Bong Wun (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 27, 2008

Based on the author’s decipherment of prehistoric carvings and the application of mathematical measurements, The Gods’ Machines shows how “unknown” phenomena from Angkor Wat to Stonehenge to crop circles are actually powerhouses built by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization for tapping electromagnetic energy. The book traces the development of that civilization on Earth over 5,000 years, revealing how all these structures are aligned according to a universal formula: an angle of 135 degrees at which Earth’s energy has been tapped by the alien creators of these monuments. These fascinating theories not only explain our distant past, but also open the door to a future of power technology and space travel.

Megalithic sites such as Newgrange and Stonehenge are constructed with quartz- and iron-rich stones with electrical conduction properties — minerals also found atop Aztec temple and inside crop circles. These stones, according to the author, served as dry cell batteries when heated and stressed, and supplied energy to the builders’ traveling vehicles. Most interestingly, the author has tested his theory on today’s crop circles. The Gods’ Machines is certain to stimulate debate among readers interested in alternative history, ancient civilization, and extraterrestrial intelligence.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thank you for your wonderful book. ... Concerning megalithic sites, I think your ideas are great. ... Humans have never understood for what purpose the original temples were built—not in the past and not in the present. Therefore, your analysis is a mind-opener and absolutely necessary for pre-historians. Congratulations!"
—Erich von Däniken, author of Chariots of the Gods

This review is from: The Gods' Machines: From Stonehenge to Crop Circles (Paperback)

An interesting theory, built on the back of prior ones, with a breathtaking world-wide scope. In a nutshell, all the megalithic monuments in our world, along with certain civilizations that blossomed quickly and mysteriously, only to die out (Angkor Wat, Mesoamerica, the Temple era of Egypt, etc.), were energy-creating complexes for extraterrestrial use, to tap electro-magnetic energies in the earth.
If so, these 'stations' were not holy sites, but were turned into such later by the local people. All those he listed have mysterious myths surrounding their creation, obscured by the dimming of time and by the discounting by outsiders and science.
I bought it because I'm interested in the megaliths of Carnac, in Brittany, France. I've never been a UFOlogist, but I'm willing to keep an open mind, and have to say the author is onto something here. What it will ultimately turn out to be, I don't know, but I'm willing to consider his far-ranging theory, as parts of it make sense to me (to be honest, more sense than some stretched-thin scientific theories). I've always balked at the premise the megaliths were built by Stone-Age people (with life spans of perhaps 25-35 years) for the purposes of worship or calendar-making. Their lives were basic and focused on day-to-day survival. Very little remain of their residences and routines, yet they are assumed to have constructed these terrifically time-consuming rock edifices as places of worship or ritual. That never seemed to be the whole answer to me. This book's theory on man's part in it actually makes more sense to me, considering human nature, if you can just get past resistance to the idea of them being constructed, or influenced by, off-worlders.
This book is big, and filled with diagrams of the monuments showing the angles and layouts that are crucial to his theory. Parts of it have a slapped-together feel, especially near the end, as if he was running out of time and space. He used a lot of internet resources, and that adds to its slapped-together feel. In areas, there is a lack of cohesive narrative, as he presents diagram after diagram. This is why I gave it 4 stars. As time goes along, I'm not sure how his assessment of the meaning of the details will hold up, because it is such a new field, but in many ways the smaller details won't matter. He has been willing to tackle a very large subject, and apply some reasoning and science to it.
That being said, I still recommend reading it, as it is thought-provoking and fascinating. I wanted to see if he could carry off his theory, and I think he did a credible job. It is good to read things that stretch our minds and broadens our mindsets. This is a book that will do that for you, if nothing else, so it will not be wasted, no matter your opinion by the end. And it *is* a fascinating read. I look forward to seeing how his research matures. I think this book adds to a body of work regarding the ancient stone monuments, as the true answer to them doesn't lie with science yet.
